Myers Briggs

[Dr. Medulla]

ENTJ - runs quite a spectrum from Cheney, Rove and Limbaugh to Bernie Sanders and Stalin. Lots of political figures but also Carl Sagan and Aristotle.

I don't know how to break it to you, but you've got the monster gene.

People keeping company with Ayn Rand, Lenin and the unibomber shouldn't throw stones.

Actually, we're the kind of people who compulsively throw stones.

I'll come help you here Doc, just as soon as I put the finishing touches on this here manifesto...

I haven't taken this test in ages, so I couldn't remember where I sat, but I just took it again and wound up with ISTJ. George Washington and Sean Connery!

Not an M-B test, but in a fit of writing avoidance, I took a Mensa exam online (those whacky fuckers, withholding the results unless I send them £20; I'll keep my money and buy some Charleston Chew, thank you very much). Anyway, there were two questions that I guessed at and am curious whether anyone here can give a confident response:

Which one of the numbers does not belong is the following series?
2
3
6
7
8
14
15
30

(I guessed 30 but for no good reason)

A fish has a head 9" long. The tail is equal to the size of the head plus one-half the size of the body. The body is the size of the head plus the tail." How long is the fish?
27"
54"
63"
72"
81"

I couldn't quite work out the math precisely, but the head is 9, the body is 9 + 9 + something, and the tail is 9 + something. So, minimum 36". I figured 54" was a reasonable guess.

edit: Fixed some typical language glitches in the last sentence.

I've trained my brain to pretty much shut down when anything more complicated than calculating a tip is involved. The same just happenensfinvaorpnvej apeiaueraehbrv

The answer to the first question is 8. You add 1 to the previous number then double the previous number. 3 = 2 + 1 adds 1 to previous number, 6 = 3 x 2 the double the previous.

The second answer is 6 ft. Or 72''.

The head is 9''
The tail is 18'' + 9'' = 27''
The body is 9'' + 18'' + 9'' = 36''
9 + 27 + 36 = 72''

I never got higher than a C in math at school, though I'm shocked it wasn't much lower. I think it's my frustration with the learning process there that feeds my current distaste for numbers. I just read Marky's rundown and my eyes quite literally glazed over.

Looks solid to me. Thanks, man!

Marky's a genius, but we all knew that.

My wife is a mathphobe, plain and simple. She sees numbers and panics. She's proof to me that IQ tests, which rely heavily on math, are bullshit, because she ain't dumb.

Well don't tell her that—the power dynamics of your relationship will change.

Ha! hardly my head is really hurting now. The fish one was easier.
